NATIONAL OFFEND A FEMINIST WEEK-MAY 8TH EDITION
You know that progressive feminists aren't very secure in their femininity, or for that matter their humanity, when they can't keep from attacking even the children of their political opponents. If anybody can tell you that, its the Palins. Since Sarah was chosen as John McCain's VP running mate, she herself was attacked, mercilessly, even though she stood up to the oil companies and a crooked GOP machine in her home state of Alaska-things that would have guaranteed liberal Democrats would sing her praises if she were a Democrat. Unfortunately for her, she's a Republican. Worse, she's a devout Christian who wouldn't even consider aborting her Down's Syndrome afflicted newborn son.
But of course it didn't stop with her. Her husband has been attacked, as have her children. Bristol has especially been the recipient of progressive and Democrat loony leftist ire on a number of occasions, most recently for being one of the spokespersons for The Candies Foundation, an organization that tries to work to reduce the number of teen pregnancies.
Their problem with Bristol is that, instead of focusing on birth control, she promotes abstinence. Yep, nothing will raise a feminists, or any liberals ire like encouraging teenage girls to NOT have premarital sex.
Then they took another line of attack, when it was learned Bristol was paid a hefty salary for her work with the foundation. What they are ignoring is that Bristol's fame will raise the profile of the Candies Foundation in a way an ordinary spokesperson could never do. Why shouldn't they pay her for her time and effort?
Nevertheless, the feminists at the feminist web-site Fisting-oops, my mistake, that's Feministing-are incensed at Palin, for both preaching abstinence, and for taking a large six figure salary-but mainly for being a conservative Christian and daughter of Sarah Palin.
I think their point is that Bristol sounds elitist in her ads. Now being as these are progressives, you are kind of tempted to give them the benefit of the doubt, seeing as how they should be experts at what constitutes elitism. But let's look at this carefully and thoughtfully.
Bristol says in the ads that she came from a privileged background with many advantages that many other girls might not have, and that in such cases an unwanted pregnancy could in effect be a severe hardship.
See, that's the difference between Progressives/Liberals/Democrats-and Human Beings. If you tell the simple truth, it sounds elitist, smug, or hateful.
But when they tell a fucking lie, and screech at the top of their fucking lungs about it, and make veiled and not so veiled threats of violence, then you are any number of vile things if you disagree with them, even if you do so in a relatively civil tone of voice or writing style.
Of course, nobody would listen to a girl like Bristol Palin when she warns her peers not to make the same mistakes she did. But evidently they'll listen to some three time loser who tells them the proper way to put a condom on their boyfriend, and how to go about getting ab abortion if the condom breaks or the pill fails to work.
But, I guess that's the essence of being a "real woman" in today's feminist world. Whenever you see a gutter, don't walk away-by all means, jump right in.
